WOW! Thank you so much and Frannie, too, for giving me Cis's Witch's Way. I hope I get to meet Dean some day, Cis calls a lot of his dances and they always make me a happy dancer!

Re: [Callers] Caller Directory - in development

by Michael Barraclough via Callers

Luke - it seems like we can't edit the spreadsheet directly (to update the additional info). If I resubmit does that mean I lose all my previous data or will it recognize me and just take the new/changed stuff?

[Callers] Beneficial Tradition end effects

by Kalia Kliban via Callers

Hi all I haven't yet called Beneficial Tradition, but think it might be a good fit for an upcoming dance. Does it get weird at the ends or does it flow reasonably well? I danced it years ago and don't remember. If you pull by RH to go out on the right diagonal, do you cross solo to the other side to make space for the next person to come out on the right diagonal?

Thanks to everyone who's already signed up. Looks like there's some willingness to try this, and I appreciate it. I've already tweaked it slightly based on feedback (Gender Free, levels of MWSD). Feel free to resubmit your name if you didn't keep the link to edit your response (and a note to that effect).

[Callers] Caller Directory - in development

by Luke Donforth via Callers

Hello all, When I get an inquiry about calling for a gig that I can't do, I often refer them to the same handful of local callers that I know. But it's not always the most useful if the inquiry came from far away. I've been thinking about trying to create a caller database; with geographic home-base of caller and contact information. I know there are lists of callers out there, such as Charlie's excellent contra dance links and Dance Gypsy. I was thinking it would be useful to have it in database format where it could be sorted and filtered. I'd also like for folks to be able to submit themselves, as opposed to having to compile them. I've taken a first pass at creating a google form that allows people to submit information; with a linked spreadsheet that would allow people to filter based on what they're looking for (both geographically and dance style). My hope is to eventually develop a front end to help filter that information, but for now I'm just sharing it in a database. As a caller, would you fill it out? As an organizer, would you use it? Is there any information I've missed that you'd want, or something I've included you'd rather not have? The survey is at: https://goo.gl/forms/62beEKCKsyysepGk1 The spreadsheet of (currently sparse) results: https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1ZIWfYyFwMHHm6MpyMCD_N8ssQcOD5s6yndu… I'd appreciate feedback on the survey; as well as a folks filling it out to see how useful filtering the database is (and eventually test the front end). Thanks! -- Luke Donforth calling.luke(a)gmail.com

[Callers] Colorful Contra/Colorful Corner. Was: Re: (no subject)

No part of the name turned up at the usual places (including one's search engine of choice), which in part include: -- Michael Dyck's Contradance Index http://www.ibiblio.org/contradance/index/index.html Antony’s Dance Database http://www.heywood.nl/antony/dances/ Dancilla/en – Dancilla Wiki http://www.dancilla.com/wiki/index.php/Dancilla/en Ralph Page Legacy Weekend Syllabi http://www.library.unh.edu/find/archives/collections/ralph-page-dance-legac… -- Good luck with further searches and the calling of it. For the list: Galen is a recently minted local caller (in the Southern BC islands) who's really taken to Contra and community/barn dances. A most welcome addition to the fun. Cheers, John -- J.D.
